The case against him includes 840 hours of covertly recorded conversations, which are peppered with Arabic and slang.

On Thursday, the court heard this had since been resolved and the accused now had access to a computer.

Justice Dalton told Succarieh's lawyer, Saul Holt, there appeared to be an "awful lot of work" involved in the case and asked that he decide soon whether he would be able to go to trial later this year.

No date was set for the trial, expected to take a month, but the case was adjourned until February 15 when a decision regarding bail is expected.

Succarieh is charged with making funds available to the Jabhat al-Nusra group, facilitating Kruezi's passage to Syria, and causing money to be given to Kruezi in preparation for an offence against the Crimes (Foreign Incursion and Recruitment) Act.

Both he and Kruezi, 22, have been behind bars since their arrest, in a series of counter-terrorism raids, in September 2014.
